  Speaker 1: Big win by the Aussies yesterday over in Vancouver, our
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: very own necessary or Ukunda getting on the board first,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: it's history first.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: What it's a mystery.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Vcover Audia there thanks to SBS and Nettie. Well, we're
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: going to cross over to Vancouver now to speak to
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: a bloke who's born and bred here in Adelaide, lives
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: over in Vancouver now, however, was at the match and
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: saw the famous Aussie win.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Over to someone on the ground, do we say we.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Have someone on the ground early, breakfast is resourced? Well done,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Patrick Moore, Good morning to you over in Vancouver.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Good morning to you as well.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: So this is extraordinary Patrick, you're over in Vancouver now,
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: what was the setting? Like the atmosphere would be amazing.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't it It was? It was honestly just amazing.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: Like Vancouver has already places, We've got a lot of
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: ossis here, we already kind of dominate all the ski
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: resorts here. But just seeing seeing everyone coming in and yeah,
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: it's it's it's been honestly incredible.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I saw the vision of all the Aussies marching to
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the stadium. What what was that like? Can you put
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: it into some perspective of what we might see here
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: in Australia or was it just bigger than anything you've
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: ever seen before.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: It's it's definitely, I mean outside of anything in you know,
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: you get your European football club type things and you
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: see that, but outside of that, I don't know, it's
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: just something so special when it's your national team coming
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: together like that. Yeah, it's just it's just amazing, don't
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: I don't even know how to put it in words.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: I think that much just everywhere you look like it
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: was just full of Ausi's in the in the green
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: and gold everywhere.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: So Patrick, in comparison to an IFL Grand Final, for example,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: is it much bigger than that over there?
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: That's a that's a tough one. I think.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: In terms of your numbers it might be a bit less.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: But I think the way that the passion of the
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: people and how they come together for a World Cup
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: it's only every four years and we know, we know
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: is as you know, sometimes we don't even make the
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: World Cup. Obviously we do more now, but like I think,
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: I think seeing the emphasis on that and how much
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: passion there is the people, it's just I don't know
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: how anything can top that.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: So for people waking up here in Adelaide who maybe
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: don't really know much about Canada Vancouver as a town,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: how's that? What sort of how could you relate that
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: to an Aussie sized town? And when you made the
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: move over to live over there, did you ever think
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: you'd be able to watch your own national soccer side
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: in a World Cup victory.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: No?
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I never thought that. That's crazy. I guess Vancouver is
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: almost like it's almost like Perth.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: It's on the west coast, it's on the ocean here,
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: but I think, yeah, I mean moving here and you
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: move here for the mountains and the ski resorts, you
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: never thought you know, you're going to be surrounded by
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Australians watching, watching us take on the rest of the world.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: It's just been awesome.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: So take us inside the stadium yesterday, necessary we're kind
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: to scores that goal. What was the atmosphere like?
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: It was honestly pandemonium.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: I mean, as you saw, we didn't have much of
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: the ball before that moment, but that that's why we've
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: got necessarily playing like he's a guy that can just
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: he can just do that like one touch and there
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: it was like it was just it was shaking, people screaming,
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: it was it was just insane. And yeah, they really
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: didn't stop for the rest of the night after that.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: So where to from here?
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Mate?
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Are you going to go to the next one or
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: how does it look?
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: I'm considering it.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: So Seattle is just down the road for this Australia
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: the USA game, I'm like, I'm sure that'll be incredible.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: I was talking to lots of lots of OLTI fans
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: who have made the journey over from Australia and they're
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: making their way down the coast for the next two games.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: But I've had a look at some of the ticket
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: prices for that one, especially now that we've had a win.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's pretty crazy.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: So how much are they and how much were the
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: tickets for the Vancouver game?
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: Vancouver was I would say the most reasonable of what
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: I've seen, and talking out four hundred five hundred dollars,
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: which is which is still crazy, but I think we're
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: adding another zero onto that this this game gets the USA.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Really, so what four thousand Australian to go and watch?
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, as of right now, I think there were
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: some that were a bit cheaper when it came out,
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: but I know there's been there's been controversy with their
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: their drip pricing and everything, but I think, yeah, there's
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: certainly some passionate fans that I was talking to yesterday.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: They're doing this game, they're doing the Seattle game, and
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: then they're going down to San Francisco as well. So yeah,
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: we went into World Cup. Like with Australian fans, really
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: they have no limits. They just they just got to go.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: So what's what's it to do in Vancouver after your
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: national side wins a game that no one was expecting?
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: How like you stay out? What was the town like?
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: The town's been incredible, like they've been They've closed down
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: Granville Street and made a pedestrian only. It's very similar
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: vibes to to Rundle Street and Fringe season, like patios
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: all on there and it was straight back. There was
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: an Irish pub that was running the Australian fan events
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: and that that kept going well into the night and
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: it was it was definitely an.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Australian takeover of Vancouver.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: So this morning, the weather is nice, but I think
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: there's a lot of soreheads around.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Brilliant. Well, thanks, you're insight Patrick, I mean, how fantastically
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: he could be there for the moment and then and
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: then bring us along too. We need to do a
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: bit of a fundraising effort to get you across to
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Seattle so you can be a man on the ground
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: over there.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: That would be the best thing. Okay for sure. Thanks
